Synopsis

Abstract

This Financial Insights report presents our top 10 predictions for global financial services. The year 2008 was one for the record books, and not in a good way. One after another, major financial institutions came to the brink of failure and had to be rescued by their national government, caught in a vicious spiral of falling housing prices, rising credit defaults, and a frozen credit market in which even short-term loans became unaffordable. As we look to 2009, there is no end in sight, and we are entering unknown territory. Panic is understandable in these conditions, yet those who resist it will find unprecedented opportunities.

According to Aaron McPherson, practice director at Financial Insights and lead author of the report, "Now is the time for stronger companies to increase market share at the expense of their weaker competitors. Those financial institutions and technology suppliers that are able to stay focused on their long-term strategy will be in the best position to benefit once the inevitable recovery begins."
